As Beretta stresses in its press release, “This is a further step in the Group's internationalization process; the 94% of the group turnover is already realized outside Italy” and it's “aimed at satisfying the need of Qatar government forces to equip themselves with light defense weapons characterized by cutting-edge technologies.”

“In the future – Beretta adds - it will be possible to develop new weapon systems.”

Beretta Holding, whose consolidated revenues in 2016 amounted to Euro 679.4 million, EBITDA to Euro 117 million and net income to Euro 59.6 million, holds a minority stake in the Binding joint venture.

Beretta Holding also coordinates the activities of the 30 companies operating in the main European countries, the United States.
